Prospective Liverpool
investor Prince Faisal bin Fahd bin Abdullah al-Saud isn't looking
to get involved in the club's ownership problems.
The agreement struck between American co-owners George Gillett
and Tom Hicks when they jointly bought Liverpool was that neither could sell their shares
without the other's approval.
Since then they have grown apart and despite a public show of
solidarity in the summer there are still tensions between the
two.
It is an issue which could prove another stumbling block to new
investment.
"His Highness would not want to get involved in the [problems
between the pair], he is not a marriage counsellor," advisor Barry
Didato told BBC Radio.
"He cannot be seen as a solution to the debt or problems in the
existing relationship between the owners."
Didato told BBC Sport: "His Highness is an extraordinary man who
is passionate about football.
"He has a tremendous respect for Liverpool and their fan base.
"He only wants what is best for them and is one of those rare
breeds of investor who is in it for the long haul."
